Switzerland introduces first climate neutral ship

Eco-focused Switzerland has introduced its first climate neutral ship, the MS Diamant, which opened to the public on Lake Lucerne this month.

The ship is the country’s second eco-friendly vessel, following the 2016 launch of the restored Vedetta 1908 on Lake Lugano, which runs on solar and electric power.

Recently christened, the sleek, modern and luxurious MS Diamant has set a new standard in the Swiss shipping scene in terms of quality and innovation.

With a surface area of 1,400 square metres sprawling across five decks, the ship features a Panorama Deck, Compass Lounge and Bar on the sun deck, the Nautilus Cabin in the fuselage complete with underwater views, and the Aqua Terrace with a sea water foot bath in the stern.

The vessel can also be booked for exclusive functions, allowing up to 400 seats for banquet style events.
